Texas DG Calendar of Events

July 21st swap meet ..
Rudd something is wrong with your link its taking me some other place.
I noticed the links all around the site are doing that...I'll post it again
http://davesgarden.com/journal/ed/index.php?tabid=2086
Ironically..if you can copy the link and paste it in an email outside of DG, it will take you to the proper location. Someone sent me a link in a thread yesterday, and it turned out to be my own link, so there are link tubes getting crossed somewhere.
This is basically what it says....Just let me know if the link works, then I can edit this post and take out this info if ya'll want
This is cut and paste, so the links that pasted from the itinerary shouldn't work.

Just off 10th and Studewood. The street starts as Montrose street in montrose, becomes Studemont, then Studewood. just over the bridge of White Oak Bayou which is also the beginning of The Heights.
Land Marks are:
10th and Studewood : Glass Wall Resaurant
11th and Beverly : Berry Hill Restaurant
My house is the second to the last house before you hit Beverly, so the closest cross street to my house is
10th and Beverly. If you were to turn right on Beverly you would find Berry Hill Resaurant 1.5 blocks away. There is a 10th 1/2 street..Beware. Beverly then hits 11th which is a main arterial. Berry Hill is 11th and Beverly, 1 block from Buchanons Nursery. (if anyone is familiar with Buchanons.

Mary is going to update the top of the thread for us, keep a look out.
Thank you Sheila, and Mary.
Sheila, are you on the wrong thread?
No Sylvia, this is the "sticky" that Maggiemoo keeps up for the events around TX. I d-mailed her, asking her to list the three I know about so far (for 2008), in the top post.
I think you and Linda forgot you were on this thread! LOL!!
I've updated the Spring '08 events. Thanks for letting me know about them, Sheila!
Thank you Mary, you are a sweetheart.

Thanks Mary! We have three going I think... CS (blue_eyes), Jacksonville (Mibus2), and Arlington (yours truly).
I know I said I would try to take this over, but I didn't make the necessary arrangements; maybe before the fall RUs begin. Thanks for your diligence.
